Good scenic place. Need to focus more on deep cleaning, ac filter full of dust probably never cleaned, had to request cleaning as not good for allergies. Better idea have ac installed in windows as less noisy. Windows had spiders and other insects between panes, over all windows etc. need thorough deep cleaning. Rest of the room seemed ok in terms of cleaning.

A beautiful heritage building, warm and welcoming! Staff were pleasant and helpful, the restaurant was great. Just a great vibe in an old building with lots of history in a beautiful location in the park. Enjoyed the large fireplace in the entry. The grounds are beautiful too.

Beautiful old property with lots of cachet

I've always wanted to stay at Dalvay by the sea and splurged for my bday. Beautiful old property with lots of cachet and some updates to bring it to today's standards (portable AC, power bar to add outlets, etc.). No TV but WiFi was available. It was cold for mi-June so the fireplaces were lit which made it cozy with plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy a glass, a book or a board game. We splurged on a delicious breakfast the next day. Our room on the second floor was spacious and comfy with a king bed. Sadly the bed frame needed some TLC because our heads were lower than our feet.

Dalvay By The Sea overnight

A very pleasant single night stay in a place of historic origins. All staff we encountered were friendly, very attentive and knowledgeable about the history of the building, its original builders and past residents. Experiencing a century's step back in time within the original decor and ambiance and "old school" service was an extremely refreshing change from typical hotels. Being early in the summer season, we found the beach was nearly deserted for a late morning walk. Not to be missed if you have the opportunity, even if just for a refreshment or a meal. Reserve well ahead (months, not weeks) if you intend to stay during peak times.

Excellent hospitality. One of the most charming places I’ve stayed. If back in the area, wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. The smell of firewood fills the place in the most comforting way. It was clean, quiet, and full of old world charm.

Staying at Dalvay was a dream 40 years in the making and it did not disappoint! The property is as idyllic as the setting. The rooms are well-appointed and the common areas are as cozy as home, with a crackling fire burning all day. The staff are clearly passionate about what they do. I cannot say enough about this beautiful place. I would give it 10 stars!
